The iPhone And iPod Conquer The Web

A few months ago, mobile searches originating on Apple's iPhone made Google check the system to see if everything is all right, because the statistics shown an incredible lead over other mobile phones used to access the search engine. That was some time ago, but it seems more and more people are using the iPhone and iPod touch to surf the web, and the latest reports look excellent for Apple, and not so encouraging for other manufacturers, as we're going to see right away...


Unfortunately, these last statistics from StatCounter only show iPhone's usage on the Web by American users, but since the iPhone sold most units there, I guess it's also the most relevant result to get for it. Between December and March, the iPhone and iPod touch were used on the Web 64 percent more frequently than before, bringing the figures up to 0.23 percent of all surfers, from only 0.14 percent!

I know, I know - we're talking about a tiny percentage, but think about the fact that these figures are way higher than those showing the usage of smart Nokia phones on the Web, for example.

Anyway, Nokia gets its revenge on the global statistics, where Nokia mobiles lead with 0.25 to 0.08, but since Apple's iPhone and iPod touch didn't manage to become really popular all over the world yet, I think the results in US can become reality all over the world in the long run.
